Hello deejay2099. Chrysler Financial's current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2007 Dodge Grand Caravan SXT with 12,000 miles per year are .00065 and 42%, respectively. The numbers for an otherwise identical 39 month lease are .00083 and 41%. When negotiating your lease on this van, make sure to take advantage of the $4,000 lease cash and $500 bonus cash ($4,500 total) that are currently available on it.
 
DaimlerChrysler frequently runs an early lease termination program on the Dodge Caravan. If one is available on it now, I suspect that is the case, then you should be able to get out of your current Chrysler Financial lease four months early for free.
 
I'm surprised that your wife doesn't like the redesigned Dodge Grand Caravan. I saw it at an auto show a few months ago and thought it was great. I'm not a minivan guy, but I was amazed by how the rear captain's seats turned around to face a table. You can even get it with satellite TV for the kids.

Could you please tell me the current money factor and residual rate for a 36 month lease for 15,000 miles/year? Have you heard if Chrysler will offer some great incentives to push the 2008 model? Thank you.

Has DCFS released the residuals and lease factors for the new 2008 Grand Caravans? If so, do you know what they are? Have you been able to get a sense of what the demand will be on the vans (ie how far over invoice am I gonna have to go?)? Do you know anything about whether or not the restriction that has been on the MyGig system is still in place? Thanks for the information you share here. It is very valuable!

Here's the information that you're looking for, berlyb3. Chrysler Financial's current buy rate lease money factor and residual value for a 36 month lease of a 2007 Dodge Grand Caravan SXT with 15,000 miles per year are .00053 and 38%, respectively.
 
Chrysler is currently providing $4,000 lease cash on the '07 Grand Caravan. It is difficult to say whether it will have to increase its cash incentives on it to help unload the remaining '07 models now that the '08s arrived, but any increase in cash incentives will probably be offset by the fact that its lease program will get worse as the model year progresses.

Hi hcop. These fees have nothing to do with your dealer. They are standard Chrysler Financial charges. It charges a $700 acquisition fee on every vehicle that it leases. this fee can either be paid at lease signing or rolled into your vehicle's capitalized cost to make it part of your monthly payment. It also charges a $425 disposition fee at lease-end to consumers who do not purchase their leased vehicle or lease another one through Chrysler Financial.

Hi wgbcworship. I don't believe that Chrysler Financial has introduced a special lease program for the 2008 Dodge Caravan yet. At least I haven't seen one for it. I suspect that it will introduce a special lease program on it when it publishes its new lease program on September 5th.
 
I don't have a good sense of what the market will be like for the redesigned Chrysler minivans yet. While I'm not a minivan person, I think that Chrysler did an excellent job with the new Caravan and Town & Country. Having said this, the demand for minivans has not been that strong. General Motors and Ford have replaced most of their vans with crossover vehicles. Even if the initial demand for the redesigned minivans is strong, I suspect that within a couple of months dealers will be selling it for close to dealer invoice.
